Saw this in 3D. Stunning visuals and creativity. It's one of those few movies that inspires me to go back to the cinema again. I hate wearing the 3D glasses though!

(3.5) Pretty Magical in and of Itself.

The original Wizard of Oz from 1939 has always amused me. For as much as people yell at me for not caring about whether or not the movie follows the source material, I'm always surprised that The Wizard of Oz has become so big as a film that people kind of sort of forget it's even based off a book (and it really IS nothing like the book... like, at all). This always amused me. It's a great movie, but sort of proves why I have the "Who cares if it didn't follow … more

'Oz The Great And Powerful'...Not Great But Loads Of Fun For The Family (video)

'We're off to see the Wizard...The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz'...except... In Sam Raimi's 'Oz The Great And Powerful' he's not exactly wonderful or a wizard. In fact he' Oscar Diggs (James Franco) a 3rd rate circus magician/con artist who escapes from Kansas in a hot air balloon, only to land in the beautiful, magical Land of Oz. &n … more
